The last thing you want to happen during the frigid winter months is a commercial building with no heat. You will be uncomfortable, your employees will be irritable, and your clients will want to be somewhere else. Trying to conduct business in an area like ours, with an average winter temperature somewhere around 10°F, and the furnace or boiler goes out—you might be better off just going home for a day or two.

Furnace on the Fritz
There’s every chance you’re not an expert in HVAC systems or furnace repairs. So, besides shivering at your desk, how can you tell if your furnace requires attention? There are a few easy-to-recognize warning signs:

​

• Cold Air Circulation: When it’s operating properly, your furnace should produce warm air. If cold air hisses from the vents, there are potential issues with components like the motor or heat exchanger. Our expert technicians can identify and resolve either issue.

• Uncommon Noises: While it's normal for furnaces to make some operational sounds, unfamiliar noises such as squealing, scraping, or rattling are cause for concern. Such sounds can imply a loose component or a more critical malfunction that needs fixing.

• Yellow Pilot Light: A properly functioning gas furnace should exhibit a blue pilot light. A yellow pilot light on a gas furnace can signal a carbon monoxide leak. In such cases, turn off your furnace immediately, seek our professional assistance, and vacate your premises until we repair it and deem it safe to reenter your commercial space.

Boiler on the Fritz

Some of the indicators for a failing furnace are also true for boilers. An aging boiler will lose its efficiency, which you’ll see with the increase in your heating bill. Like with a scary-sounding furnace, you’ll hear unusual banging, hissing, or booming. Boilers usually run silently. You might see water around the base of the boiler, indicating a leak or a crack. And again, just like a furnace, the pilot light on the boiler should be blue. If it’s yellow, you’ve got a problem.

And even if you’re not experiencing an immediate issue, you can avoid future downtime with our commercial furnace maintenance services in Minneapolis-St. Paul. Proactive measures will always save you money down the road.
